Governmental Supports for Students in Turkey: Beneficiary Perspective on the Use of Financial and Social Support in Higher Education; Yasar Kondakci, Kadir Beycioglu, Yusuf Ikbal Oldac, Hanife Hilal Senay.Across the world, higher education is witnessing exponential growth in both student participation and types of educational providers. One key phenomenon of this growth is an increase in student diversity: governments are widening access to higher education for students from traditionally underrepresented groups. However, this raises questions about whether this rapid growth may in face compromise academic quality. This book presents case studies of how higher education institutions in diverse countries are maintaining academic excellence while increasing the access and participation of students from historically underrepresented backgrounds. Including case studies spanning four continents, the authors and editors examine whether increasing widening participation positively impacts upon academic quality. This volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of global higher education, representation and participation in education, and quality in higher education.Palgrave Studies in Excellence and Equity in Global EducationHigher educationEducational policyEducation and stateSchool management and organizationSchool administrationInternational education Comparative educationAssessmentHigher Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O36000Educational Policy and Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000Administration, Organization and Leadershiphttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O17000International and Comparative Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O13000Assessment, Testing and Evaluationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O33000Higher education.Educational policy.Education and state.School management and organization.School administration.International education .Comparative education.Assessment.Higher Education.Educational Policy and Politics.Administration, Organization and Leadership.International and Comparative Education.Assessment, Testing and Evaluation.306.432Shah Mahsoodedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMcKay Jadeedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910299507503321Achieving Equity and Quality in Higher Education2522088UNINA
